I think this is a wrong appraisal of the story.

This is the first time someone did this, and therefore other people could start to ask for similar accommodations. The idea is important

poison pilling

societal ostracization (e.g. boycotts)

sabotaging data centers, data gathering infra (flock cameras), web infrastructure

These are just methods within the current societal norms and context, if not I could think of 10 more.

For example, it is not beyond the realm of imagination to think that large swathes of people could stop using technology (as in phones & computers) altogether, and return to a more traditional physical communal state.

It is not beyond the realm of imagination that countries, after suffering from cyber attacks, could start decoupling themselves from the global internet, and wall themselves off (similar to China), and develop their own unique culture around technology.

It is not beyond the realm of imagination that tags like Anti-AI be mandated to be attached to products similarly to kosher, halal, etc.

1. destruction of the digital arts (music, 2d/3d art) industry

2. greatest hacking tool in history

4. greatest accountability transfer tool in history (whoops it was the AI that shot those missiles)

5. greatest capital raising tool in history (we use AI in our startup, and you should give us money)

6. greatest scamming tool in history (cloning people voices for scam calls, etc..)

The pie didn't get bigger (equivalent to economy)

The number of pie eaters (equivalent to workers) got bigger.

Yeah, there isn't anything wrong with encouraging people to get into mathematics But recommending it as a career, might be delusional, maybe harmful? (Although people say that about artists too)

sexual maybe

romantic? really?

I had an assumption that most of human history, marriage was more of an arranged marriage thing. With a lot of "women being treated as property", "heirs required for transfer of wealth", etc notation.

And there were also societies that were polyamorous in nature?

We are in a new world now, there is no need to force traditions (or worse yet, false traditions) that frankly doesn't seem to work anymore

There are your Paul Feyerabend s and there are your reddit atheists which the HN crowd tend towards, who simplify all complex relations in the world to Scientific, Testable, Linear logic. It may as well be as a result of the education system or the Industrial Revolution, but that is the prevalent logic in the world. Unfortunately we do not live in a time of philosophy anymore
